I'm trying to buy some jodhpurs for dd (8 on Saturday) but all the ones I've looked at online are fitted by waist measurement. Dd's waist is 22" but she's 135cm tall so the ones which will fit her around the waist will be halfway up her calves ... She obviously can't be the only tall, skinny girl learning how to ride so can anyone give me any recommendations please :)

I have the same with my DD (just turned 8!!)
She also is 22 waist but 130..something tall.
Think Harry hall do a long version of their jodphurs, as opposed to the regular length.
Try their website.
Good luck and hope she enjoys her day xx

DD has the same problem and wears half chaps. Except when she can't be bothered and just flashes six inches of bare leg!

DD is quite small waisted and long legged and she has French Sportswear jods which are actually slightly too long in the leg for her.
